The Mahabharata, on the other hand, revolves around the conflict between the Pandavas and Kauravas, leading to the great war of Kurukshetra.
According to Hindu mythology and beliefs, Ramayana and Mahabharata are two epics that are believed to have been events that happened because of the Avatars of Lord Vishnu
There were two epics from that time: the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
The Indian civilization is known for the Mahabharata and Ramayana epics. These ancient Sanskrit texts are central to Hindu mythology and culture, with the Mahabharata focusing on a great war and the Ramayana detailing the life of Prince Rama.
Mahabharata and Ramayana are two important epics in Indian History which were written by sages like Vyas Rishi and Valmiki Rishi respectively to elaborate the human ideals and principles in Hinduism. Both are of Vedic age and are respected like sacred scriptures by Hindus.
The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana.
Valmiki wrote Ramayana first. It was later written by Tulsidas.
The Ramayana was written by the sage Valmiki, who is also considered the Adi Kavi (the first poet) in Sanskrit literature. The Ramayana is one of the two major Hindu epics, the other being the Mahabharata.
There is not one Ramayana in India. In each and every language there is at least one Ramayana. For example, in Hindi there is Thulsi Ramayana, in Tamil there is Kamba Ramayana, Bengali there is Kirtivasa Ramayana and so on. However the oldest of all of these is the one written in Sanskrit. It is said to have been written by Valmiki, a saint turned hunter.
The stories are mainly from Ramayana and Mahabharata, they are two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The epics were already adapted into Javanese culture, so both have slight differences from the original. Other stories were created specifically for wayang kulit, but still using main characters from original Ramayana and Mahabharata. Also, there are many characters you can not find from the original epics.
The epics, particularly the two major Indian epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, are believed to have begun their composition around the 5th century BCE to 4th century CE. However, their oral traditions likely date back even further, with roots in ancient storytelling practices. In the Western tradition, epics like Homer's Iliad and Odyssey were composed around the 8th century BCE. These works reflect the cultural and historical contexts of their times, blending mythology, history, and moral lessons.
